Description
ON THIS RECORD ARE : DAVID BOWIE with rare versions of ' Waiting For The Man & Hang Onto Yourself ' and a couple of rare STATUS QUO with ' Railroad & Mean Girl " . PLUS THERE IS MARY HOPKIN, COLIN BLUNSTONE with 2 TRACKS and CHICORY TIP, THE HOLLIES AND LINDISFARNE with 1 TRACK EACH. This is a UK pressing on the BBC TRANSCRIPTION label, cat. number : 383
VINYL : VERY GOOD + , a few light hairlines both sides and some areas that have reacted with the plastic liner. Plays with some static, crackle in the quieter moments.
COVER : VERY GOOD + , these are a generic factory gatefold paper cover or sleeve with a plastic liner. It has some creases and small tears and ring marks etc. No writing on this one.
LABELS : EXCELLENT, a few very light spindle marks. MINE HAS NO CUE SHEETS! THESE LPS HAVE BEEN SITTING IN A CUPBOARD FOR 40 ODD YEARS, WITH DUST BUILD UP GETTING INTO THE SLEEVES AND INTO THE GROOVES. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE DONE MY BEST TO CLEAN CAREFULLY. I HAVE PLAYED EACH LP AND MY GRADING IS BASED ON LISTENING AS WELL AS VISUAL. SO PLEASE DON'T BID IF YOU DON'T LIKE SOME STATIC OR CRACKLE BECAUSE MOST OF THE BBC TRANSCRIPTION LPS I WILL PUT UP FOR AUCTION DO PLAY WITH STATIC AND SOME CRACKLE BECAUSE OF DUST BUILD UP WHICH WILL VARY WITH EACH LP. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE NAMES OF SONGS FOR FOR CERTAIN ARTISTS, JUST LET ME KNOW AND I WILL PLAY, AND FIND OUT, AND LET YOU KNOW! THESE ARE VERY RARE ORIGINAL UK BBC TRANSCRIPTION RECORDS MADE FOR THE RADIO STATIONS AIRPLAY ONLY. THEY WERE SENT TO ALL COMMONWEALTH COUNTRIES, BBC (OR SIMILAR) RADIO BROADCASTERS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. THEY WERE NOT MADE IN BIG NUMBERS AND DEFINITELY NOT MADE FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION. MAYBE 50 - 100 OR SO IN THE WORLD. WHAT MAKES THEM EXTREMELY DESIRABLE TO COLLECTORS IS THE FACT THAT SOME OF THE RECORDINGS ON THE BBC TRANSCRIPTION ALBUMS ARE SONGS THE ARTISTS DID LIVE IN THE BBC STUDIOS AND ONLY FOR THAT PARTICULAR DISC AND THAT TIME ONLY, TRUE ONE OFF'S, SO THEY ARE UNHEARD GEMS THAT NOT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HEARD. THIS MAKES THEM VERY RARE AND WORTH HAVING, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE INTO. VERY RARELY COME UP FOR SALE AND NOT MANY AVAILABLE TO BUY THESE DAYS. THEY ARE ALSO WELL KNOWN FOR THEIR GREAT SOUND QUALITY. SIDE 1 IS, TOP OF THE POPS - 383 & SIDE 2 IS POPS EXTRA - 383.
